The atmosphere is cosmopolitan -stylish, elegant, bright, airy, intimate and comfortable - a trendy feeling that one could be in London, Paris, New York, Chicago, or San Francisco - or Key West!  The main dining room has the feel of a elegant neighborhood bistro setting. A wall of windows with high ceilings ensures bright and open feeling. Adequate spacing allows for comfortable setting. The wooden floors and warm colored walls with tastefully decorated fixtures with white linen table settings provide a subtle warmth and elegance.
